I have a longstanding interest in research in mental health, working in various positions since 2009. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Queen’s University in 2012 and my Master’s of Science in Psychiatric Research with a specialization in Psychosis Studies from King’s College London, England in 2013. Upon completion of my graduate degree, I was offered a position as a research coordinator in Montreal, for an NIH funded project examining the differences in outcomes in first episode psychosis (FEP) patients in Canada and India. While working in Montreal I also worked in a clinical capacity with FEP patients, and developed a strong interest in early intervention work in particular with adolescents experiencing psychotic illnesses. For the past three and a half years I have been working as the program manager for the Integrated Concussion Research Program. In the Arnold Lab I will be focusing primarily on projects looking at mental health in emerging adulthood.
